Prepare for an exhilarating trail experience with the Endless Summer Trail Run Series, a highly acclaimed event celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to fostering a vibrant running community. Held in the picturesque Twin Cities of Minnesota, this series, including an event on May 20, 2026, offers runners a chance to explore extensive unpaved trail systems through local parks. Known for being low-key, low-pressure, and affordable, the Endless Summer Trail Run Series routinely sells out, drawing a strong local following and national recognition for its exceptional organization and runner experience.

Runners tackling distances such as 7M and 5M throughout the series will encounter fun, runnable, and often rolling courses, featuring a mix of single and double-track trails with moderate elevation gains. Reviewers consistently praise the beautiful scenery and exceptionally well-marked courses, making it a favorite for both seasoned trail runners and newcomers looking for a departure from road races. Aid stations are strategically placed, typically offering water stops halfway through races 5KM and longer, accompanied by enthusiastic volunteers. After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy post-race refreshments and camaraderie, a hallmark of this community-focused event.

The Endless Summer Trail Run Series, organized by Rocksteady Running, prioritizes runner safety, sustainability, and giving back to the parks and communities it engages. With start times generally in the early evening, participants can expect typical Minnesota summer conditions, which can be hot and humid, occasionally reaching temperatures in the low 90s. This series stands out for its inclusive environment, encouraging all ages and abilities to connect through the joy of trail running.
